"On the day of the incident, my client Zhao Yishan, his father was in the ICU critical care unit, and the hospital had already issued a critical condition notice. The hospital required urgent surgery that day, otherwise there would be life-threatening danger. The surgery required a payment of three hundred thousand."

"Zhao Yishan had no money himself, but his father had savings in Rui Mao Bank, a total of seven hundred thousand."

"So Zhao Yishan went to Rui Mao Bank to withdraw money, but when he tried to withdraw, the bank staff insisted that only the account holder could withdraw the money."

"Zhao Yishan explained that his father was in the ICU and couldn't possibly come."

"However, the bank staff still insisted that the account holder must be present to make a withdrawal."

"Zhao Yishan kept arguing; he needed to get the money to help his father undergo surgery."

"Finally, the bank staff relented, and required Zhao Yishan to prove that his father was indeed his father before they would help withdraw the money."

"So Zhao Yishan brought his ID card, household registration booklet, and a family photo to the bank to withdraw the money."

"But the bank staff said those were not proof enough and asked Zhao Yishan to get a certificate proving that his father was his father."

"No matter how Zhao Yishan tried to prove, the bank staff wouldn't accept it and insisted he get a certificate."

"Zhao Yishan talked until he was parched, yet he couldn't withdraw the money."

"Angry, Zhao Yishan hit the counter, accidentally breaking the glass."

"At that very moment, a gang of robbers came, directly robbing the bank. The robbers took a lot of money, including the customers' money."

"Then, Zhao Yishan had no choice but to return to the hospital, where he knelt, begging the doctors to perform the surgery first; he promised to gather the surgery fee later."

"As it turned out, unexpectedly, one of the robber's relatives was also at the same hospital waiting for a life-saving operation?"

"So the robbers, without Zhao Yishan's consent, directly gave the money to the hospital to pay for the surgery, and then left without saying a word."

Gu Chen began to speak.

Everyone understood the course of events that led to the incident.

"Thus, our demands are simple."

"Firstly, we appeal against the first-trial verdict; our client Zhao Yishan did not commit a crime, he did not commit robbery. From start to finish, he did not engage in robbery actions. How can he be charged with robbery? Moreover, he doesn't know the robbers, let alone be accomplices. This is a false accusation! I believe Zhao Yishan is innocent and request the court to overturn the first-trial verdict! Acquit our client Zhao Yishan!"

Upon hearing Gu Chen's first demand, Rui Mao Bank's lawyer and the person in charge were momentarily stunned.

Not guilty?

Acquitted?

Huh?

The online viewers were also a bit baffled.

[Here we go, here we go!]

[Lawyer Gu is awesome! Not guilty release?]

[Damn, it's the Lawless Madman alright!]

Gu Chen continued.

"Secondly, our client has clearly committed no crime yet was detained for several days and slandered by the bank as being guilty of robbery. Rui Mao Bank severely violated our client's rightful interests. We demand that Rui Mao Bank publicly apologize to our client on all platforms! Additionally, they should compensate our client for emotional distress, lost wages, and various fees totaling three hundred thousand! Also, Rui Mao Bank should bear all legal costs incurred from being sued twice, totaling four hundred thousand."

"That concludes my statement."

After Gu Chen finished speaking, a deathly silence fell over the live viewers and everyone present.

Because... this was just too insane!

Gu Chen's two legal demands were each more shocking than the other.

The first was for the court to acquit Zhao Yishan.

The second was to have the bank compensate Zhao Yishan, demanding three hundred thousand!

Three hundred thousand is just too outrageous!

And also to have Rui Mao Bank bear the legal fees!

The legal fees also include attorney expenses.

The first time hiring an attorney, Zhao Yishan spent sixteen thousand, and the attorney said only one sentence.

The second time hiring an attorney, to have Gu Chen litigate, cost twenty thousand, plus other sundry expenses.

All these are to be borne by the bank.

...

Rui Mao Bank.

Watching the live stream, Wang Rui was somewhat speechless and said, "No way, who is this Gu Chen, is this the so-called lawyer with a one hundred percent success rate? At this level? Starting by declaring Zhao Yishan innocent, how could Zhao Yishan possibly be innocent? Not even if pigs fly, he robbed the bank, fifteen years is already lenient, and Gu Chen says he's innocent?"

"And this is just too exaggerated; we're the victims here, why should we compensate Zhao Yishan thirty thousand? Why give him thirty thousand? To make us shoulder the legal costs, which shockingly amount to forty thousand? Are they taking our bank for suckers? Utterly idiotic, think of a way to have Zhao Yishan convicted!"

"I thought Zhao Yishan hired some big-shot lawyer, but with a lawyer of this caliber, I could win the case myself." Wang Rui said, watching the live-stream, treating Gu Chen like a joke.

Can one really practice law at this level?

Zhang Hongxiang, standing by, was also stunned by Gu Chen's words.

Zhang Hongxiang, too, thought Gu Chen was a top-tier lawyer...

But seeing him in court, he realized Gu Chen had no idea how to litigate.

The two demands raised were pure fantasies, utterly absurd!

The viewers in the live stream sent a flurry of comments.

[Lawyer Gu!! Eternal God!]

[It's truly the Lawless Madman, absolutely amazing, who could believe legal proceedings could be conducted like this? With evidence solid against Zhao Yishan for robbery, yet Lawyer Gu claims innocence.]

[Turtle, hahaha, Lawyer Gu is incredible, extorting the bank directly for seventy thousand, amazing.]

[Win or lose, Lawyer Gu has already made a bold move.]

...

Fangda Law Firm.

Gao Yong, shocked, said, "Is Gu Chen insane? Really going for an innocence defense? And asking for the bank to compensate seventy thousand! How could the bank compensate seventy thousand? And they might not even win the case!"

Young Master Xue was also shocked, "Gu Chen's demands seem recklessly bold; without legal grounds, it's just nonsense. How to prove Zhao Yishan wasn't an accomplice to the robbery?"

Gao Yong said, "I know about Gu Chen, let's see what exactly the situation is. Gu Chen has handled cases like this before, but this case is quite disadvantageous, unlike previous cases."

...

Even the presiding judge and the assessors were baffled upon hearing Gu Chen's legal demands.

The first trial had given a fifteen-year sentence...

And in the second trial, Gu Chen directly declared Zhao Yishan's innocence!

To even demand compensation from the bank.

The presiding judge hadn't spoken.

The plaintiff's lawyer Zhang Yifan raised his hand first.

Zhang Yifan stated, "I believe the defense lawyer's requests are utterly absurd! I assert that the defense lawyer lacks professional legal capability! I request the presiding judge to have the defense lawyer removed!"
